Try to use the same brand clear as the paint you used to spray the color coats.

just sprayed tamiya clear over duplicolour gunmetal lately, came out OK,but I put way too much of it on , so that will need to be redone.

But I think it's safe to say that tamiya clear will work on Duplicolour (as it's acrylic) , but remember to let it vent really long (about two weeks, I ve been told) before putting on clear.

I thought Duplicolor was lacquer?
Perhaps it's acrylic lacquer?

Either way, if you really want to try it, spray some Duplicolor on a scrap part and allow it to dry, then spray the Tamiya clear on it to see if they react.

I use Dupli-color all the time and ive never had any problem using Tamiya clear over it but i do wait a few days before clear coating. Also ive never had problems using Dupli-color clear over Tamiya color either but i might be very lucky. Look at my BMW 507 Cabrio and Japanese Muscle Skyline for examples were i used these paints together.
